The most obvious is depth with size at the post. We do have some options that give us flexibility, but not with much size.
We also are going to have to come up with some rebounding. We lost our leading rebounder in Will Neighbour, and although there is no reason James White cannot get his share, someone is going to have to step up as his helper on the boards.
Last year we were a poor 3-point shooting team. Perimeter players who were not hitting were taking too many shots, so this year they are either going to have to make them, or Shields is going to have to tell them not to shoot as much, because we cannot afford to shoot 32% from the arc.
Our perimeter defense is still weak. Opponents shot 34.5% against us, which, while not horrible, certainly leaves room for improvement. Also, our opponents had a positive assist/turnover ratio, which means that we are not disrupting the flow of offense much.
